Apologies for this new thread, but I have updated the pinned post above and need to make sure it reaches those who are interested in helping. Here is the update I posted in the other thread. Thank you for taking the time to read it: UPDATE - Adera and the two other children with hydrocephalus have been assessed by CURE and two of them need surgery. They can go to CURE's hospital on April 13th for this life-saving treatment, but we are £100 short of the amount we need to pay for the surgery. PLEASE consider donating, even if you have already, to allow us to make up the shortfall and allow these children to have the treatment they need to save their lives and give them a future. Any contribution, large or small, will make a huge difference. THANK YOU! [Link] "You can feel the stadium jumping. The stadium is actually physically moving up and down" FA Cup MOTD 24/4/16

Thanks so much to those who donated again - you know who you are! We've reached the new target which is amazing and means the two children can have their surgery. This is truly life-changing and a fantastic achievement. Thank you so much. We have updated the target by a small amount more, to cover a few other overheads like transport, but the aim of my previous post has been met and the pressure is off. Thanks again HOLers, you made the difference with this and I will post updates as to how the children are once they've had their operations. Cheers guys.

Update for those who contributed to Adera's Fund: Today Adera and Dapine, the two children who were recommended for surgery and for whom we raised the money for treatment, travelled to the CURE hospital in Mbale, Eastern Uganda. This is a long and arduous journey which holds both hope and anxiety for the children and their families. Hope for a cure and understandable anxiety when a loved one is to undergo complex neurosurgery. I will be receiving updates from Alex, my friend and colleague who is co-ordinating this effort in Uganda, and I will of course share these with you when I receive them. Many thanks once again to the people whose donations enabled this treatment to happen. Whatever the outcome of the surgery, you have helped give these children hope for the future, and the possibility of a vastly improved life ahead. [Link] [Link] "You can feel the stadium jumping.

UPDATE: Since the children travelled to the CURE hospital at Mbale on Monday, we have had some disappointing news. Unfortunately Adera was assessed as not suitable for surgery due to her age. She has been given some medication and advised to have physiotherapy. The other child, Daphine, became ill on the long journey and was therefore also not able to have her operation. CURE said they may be able to send a surgeon to Mbarara, closer to the children's home district, in order to carry out the surgery in the near future, when she is well enough. We are disappointed that neither child was able to have the treatment which we all hoped for, but we have to accept the guidance of CURE's specialists and hope for a better outcome in future. Please don't think your efforts have been wasted - the money we raised will still go towards treating the children affected by hydrocephalus. Although surgery is not always possible, other treatments are available and your donations will go towards paying for these. Further updates will follow as and when we have any more news. Thanks again for your invaluable support. "You can feel the stadium jumping. The stadium is actually physically moving up and down" FA Cup MOTD 24/4/16
